Preheat oven to 375^o F. In a large skillet, cook beef and sausage over medium heat until browned; drain well. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, garlic, sugar, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally
In a large bowl combine eggs and parsley. Stir in ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Spread 1 cup of meat sauce in an ungreased 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Layer with three noodles, ½ of ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1 cup sauce. Repeat layers and top with last 3 noodles and the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover and bake for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 minutes longer. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

There's something warm and comforting about lasagna in general. And this classic recipe gets the layers of noodles, the ratio of cheese and the proportions of tomatoes just right.
